Mary Worth 864

And thus the die is cast: Jill Black, outspoken Type A personality, has already had the validity of her input negated by Mary Worth's passive aggression. As long as Adrian chooses Mary's favorite dress, everything should work out just fine. Jill Black doesn't stand a chance.

@Shmoopie: The constant finger pointing is Giella's way of illustrating dramatic content. One finger, mild drama. Two fingers, a real nailbiter. Five fingers, ooooh, I'm really angry now. Ten fingers, this is where I reach over, ignoring a burning candle, and throttle you!

Jill Black will show Adrian a frilly dress on line, one that makes her feel like a queen. She'll have Adrian pay a $50,000 down-payment on it. Then, Adrian will discover that the dress is used and belongs to someone in Florida. Mary will show her a new dress, a really white dress. It fits, it's beautiful, but Adrian hesitates. Then, a corner of that dress is torn while on hold in the warehouse...

All I have to say is...these two goofballs had better leave a pretty darn BIG TIP!! Restaurant personnel hate it when people come for lunch and stay all the way til supper, tying up their tables! I bet the server that came and lit their little candle gave them one NASTY look, lol! And prolly Mary is just waiting for Dr. Jeff to drop by and pay the tab, since she never pays for anything and Adrian isn't working anymore.

Is this going to be Santa Royale's version of "Say Yes to the Dress"? An episode in which a hopelessly naive (yet professional) small-town bride comes to the big city with her Type A friend and mirthfully meddlesome mother figure to do business with some New York sales vultures? Be still my heart!
